Love's Song: discovering God's Design for Marriage Through the Song of Solomon (Instructors)

Help couples discover God’s design for marriage—and give leaders the tools to guide them through the journey.

The Love’s Song Instructor Guide is the teaching companion to Love’s Song: Discovering God’s Design for Marriage Through the Song of Solomon. Designed for pastors, teachers, marriage ministry leaders, and qualified group leaders, this guide provides practical direction for leading couples through all fifteen sessions of the Love’s Song marriage journey.

Rather than replacing the Reading Book or Student & Couple’s Guide, the Instructor Guide brings the three resources together. Each session connects directly to the corresponding chapter and participant workbook, helping the leader know what to teach, what to ask, and how to guide the conversation.

Inside you will find:

• Session objectives and teaching points

• Biblical and practical teaching explanations

• Discussion questions and leader direction

• Suggested 75–90 minute session plans

• Couple-exercise guidance

• Marriage-challenge guidance

• Sensitive-topic guidance

• Leader checklists

• Cross-references to the Reading Book and Student & Couple’s Guide

• Guidance for protecting confidentiality and creating a safe group environment

The fifteen-session journey moves couples through the foundations of biblical marriage, communication, emotional connection, covenant, intimacy, desire, romance, healing, physical intimacy, aging, temptation, protection, and enduring love.

Throughout the study, leaders are encouraged to keep one central question before each participant:

“What is God asking you to change in yourself?”

This keeps the study focused on personal growth rather than spouse-blaming and helps couples apply God's Word to their own marriages.

The guide also recognizes that marriage ministry involves sensitive subjects. Leaders are given direction for handling discussions about intimacy, sexuality, forgiveness, temptation, pornography, trust, betrayal, boundaries, aging, and other deeply personal issues with dignity, biblical truth, compassion, and wisdom.

From “The God Who Wrote the First Love Story” to “A Love That Lasts,” this guide helps leaders walk alongside couples as they learn to communicate more honestly, understand one another more deeply, protect their covenant, and continue placing Christ at the center of their marriage.

The Reading Book teaches.
The Student & Couple’s Guide engages.
The Instructor & Leader Guide guides.

Together, they provide a complete fifteen-session marriage ministry experience designed not to create perfect marriages, but to help couples grow, communicate, pray, forgive, love, and continue choosing one another.
